Abstract

PURPOSE: To relieve a driver of injury arising form the hitting of his head or face against a sterring wheel upon collision of a vehicle, by imparting an adequate shock- absorbing property to the steering wheel itself.
CONSTITUTION: Each of spokes 4 supporting the wheel ring 5 of a steering wheel 1 is formed with a notch at its bent portion 4a, so that any shock applied to the ring 5 will be absorbed by the bending and deformation of the portion. A urethane pad or the like for absorbing shocks is provided on the drivers side of a boss 3, and covered with a cover 12. A horn button 8 is placed in a hole 13 in that portion 12a of the cover 12 which covers the spokes 4. A spacer 6, backing plate 14, and stay 18 supporting the portion 12a are all easily deformed by a shock, absorbing the shock energy to relieve the driver of injury.
